With a tourist visa you can stay six months and there are no financial requirements for obtaining the tourist visa.

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 requirement

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!"

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.

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.

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.

USA is probably glad to be rid of them anyway. More work for Baja, less drain on Kalifornia

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.

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.

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.

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!
