Do a search, it's been discussed many times.

Briefly:

* FAA Class 1 medical
* CPL theory exam
* CPL flight test

If you do the test in a s/e a/c then you will have Commercial Pilot privileges valid for s/e a/c only. If multi then Commercial privileges will be valid for multis only.

To get both s/e & m/e requires two separate flight test although if you do them with the same examiner etc s/he may let you off repeating some common items.

To gain instrument privileges:

* IR exam
* IR flight test.

Usual caveats about s/e IR not being valid for multis - I think.
