With a tourist visa you can stay six months and there are no financial requirements for obtaining the tourist visa.woody with a view - 6-30-2013 at 09:29 AM

Way back in the day, on rare occasions when a tourist
applying for a Tourist Card/FMT, generally because of
appearance, would be questioned
by Mex Immigration, and sometimes asked to show
sufficient funds, this was in the days of Travellers
Checks, they didn't want people with no $ sleeping
on the beach eating oranges, that would be difficult
for Mex Imm to do that today, all one would have
to do is show an ATM card, but no, there is no requirementBajaBlanca - 6-30-2013 at 02:20 PM
Welcome to BajaNomad!
We all agree, very unusual.....there are indeed no financial requirements for tourists.
Have fun, TJ roady, wherever you go!TJ-Roady - 6-30-2013 at 05:12 PM
Thanks all for your info. I'm off to Mulege in the fall.
Cheers.

PICKY PICKY PICKY
6-months versus 180 days.
But seriously, if you have any doubts, saying the magic words CABO SAN LUCAS as a destination makes a migra's head go "KA-CHING" - rich boy's
destination.
Way back when Tyrannosaurs walked the shores of the inland sea, I used "Mexico" (which means the city) to get an automatic 180-days. If asked "where"
I would reply "El Pedregal", the Rolling Hills Estates of Mexico City. STAMP! "Welcome To Mexico!"rts551 - 7-1-2013 at 03:49 PM
There probably should be some requirement. I know of people who live in Mexico full time with a tourist permit because they are living pennyless, so
to speak.DENNIS - 7-1-2013 at 04:18 PM

I know people who have lived here thirty years, without a visa, and with short funds. This is probably harder to pull off in BCS. Nobody checks
anything up here.J.P. - 7-1-2013 at 04:25 PM

I doubt it. Mexico Immigration doesn't like to initiate these witch hunts for fear of reprisal in the states.
Besides, enforcement is a lot of work.
NoNoNO....don' want none of that. rts551 - 7-1-2013 at 06:19 PM

After thinking about this, John....are you referring to the tenants in the disputed area?
I missed that the first time around. When you mentioned exercise, I thought you were talking about Zoomba.......something like that.EnsenadaDr - 7-15-2013 at 10:31 PM
Dennis I think he might be referring to you, that spandex purple and white polka dot Zumba outfit really stands out in the crowd!!

so what is required of persons living permanent?paranewbi - 7-16-2013 at 08:14 AM
Same thing to post on this site:

Lawfully, two thousand dollars a month verified permanent income. Friends called me and said the LA consulate demanded original bank statements with
CERTAIN KINDS of income qualifying. The process can no longer be STARTED in Mexico. Lucky to be a ciudadano. Ismael Abarca Delagado Federal de INM was
correct (my rabbi). It was worth it.Alm - 7-16-2013 at 08:03 PM

According to our pastor, you have to accept Jesus as your savior.
According to "migra", it's $2000 a month, though in the past this amount was reduced in half if you own a property in Mexico.CortezBlue - 7-16-2013 at 09:35 PM
Yes, you have be prepared to pay for your meals and a place to stay, not to mention the money needed to pay for gas to get around!

A hard two days drive in a car got me from the cape to San Ysidro in the summer. My home in Michoacan is a HARD HARD 5 days from Nogales or Lukeville.
To me that made all the difference in the world. 10 days, three thousand five hundred miles, and eighty dollars car permit cost plus two hundred
dollars in toll road fees is a little hard to swallow every 180 days. Living on the peninsula changes the whole formula and level of desirability of
jumping through hoops for permanent residency.wessongroup - 7-18-2013 at 10:20 AM
Great thread ....
Found this interesting, don't know about it ..as to validity, nor its application in the "field" ........ just saying

Yeah But Those Folks Living Deep In Mexico Insist The Permanente Is The Only Way To Go

Sounds like the OP has a plan.
The problem is they do not understand how accessible the border is even from the tip of the capes. So they argue and argue that theirs is the only
valid way to go. Unless someone despises returning to the USA or perhaps has a medical reason (cataracts for instance) and cannot "do" public
transportation northward from the border, I just cannot see the absolute need of jumping through hoops to get permanente status. Not for the
peninsula.Alm - 7-20-2013 at 07:35 PM

They've lost the touch with reality, living there for too long . IMO, when you
have a health condition, taking a long-distance bus either NOB or SOB is easier than driving. Faster, too.
