I believe the above website should help you with your problem. Hope everything goes well with you and your new pet. (Don't let people discourage you too much)
And for everyone out there: It is not illegal to own a monkey and most other wild animals. You just need the licenses, paperwork and a vet that is willing to help you take care of it.

A monkey? A real monkey? How on earth do you justify that? Monkeys like so many other animals in our world belong, and deserve to be in the wild or at least in an conservation zoo. Come on is this for real?

Monkeys are pack animals which need to live in family groups. Don't keep them as pets.

When I lived in Singapore I kept 4 monkeys of varying sorts. The short answer is - you don't. But they learn, like babies, from watching and learning. Start by giving it treats when it does something particularly impressive - all mine loved potato crisps, but make sure you either hand feed the crisps, or rip the bag completely down the side.
And monkeys can read your tone of voice.
One of mine had disgusting habits which it practised whilst sitting on top of the drive gates as the children went to school, and nothing I could do would ever stop it. I had to tie it up around the back until the kids were in school. Then the attraction had gone, so he wouldn't do it any more.
Monkeys make great pets and are fun to watch. I hope you get as much enjoyment from yours as I got from mine.

A better question:
'How do I train people to respect other animals and LEAVE THEM ALONE!
