my suspicion is that both the 200,000 yen fine and the residency status revocation would both come on the 91st day.

If you are an illegal in Japan, making peanuts on slave labor, have fun trying to collect 200,000 from some pour illegal soul from Indonesia, China, Bangladesh etc..

Who are these "supporters of foreign residents"? I hope some of the the Roppongi girls set were in there swinging for their guys.

Mittsu, these supporter of foreign residents are real people not like you who just talk without thinking. It seems you often go to Roppongi.

For your information on May 28, 2009 there was also a press conference at Foreign correspondents' club Tokyo about this new immigration law.

Correction, my earlier posting to Mittsu. The press conference was held on May 29, 2009. Sorry for the typo mistake.

GENERAL UNION For those persons interested in keeping up with developments regarding the pending visa/immigration law, please see the General Union website below (Tokai/Nagoya area). Its a legally registered Japanese labour/trade union open to workers of any category or nationality. Of particularly interest is the partYour Visa on the Line - Health Insurance fight becomes Urgent`. Open forums will be held in various parts of the country in June/July for those interested in attending (Kansai, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Kanto branches) and letting their concerns known.

The General Union will shortly be negotiating with the Ministry, seeking clarification of the issues the new guidelines raise. I hope this information can be of some use. Only this week after some research, I discovered that such an organisation exists here in Japan.
