Thailand using the word scheme to describe immigration processes

[casinoexp]

In the interest of improving Thailands image whoever translates information for them on processes to enter Thailand the word "scheme" is not appropriate.  The verb definition of the word "scheme" is: make plans, especially in a devious way or with intent to do something illegal or wrong.

 

Whenever I see this I think of Thailand doing everything a little bit backwards.  Liking changing a lightbulb with three people. One to hold the lightbulb and 2 more to spin the chair.  Tell he translator that the word they should be using is process or procedure.

I hope you're not an English teacher.  It's being used as a noun, not a verb.

In Scotland, what we in England refer to as housing estate, is known as a housing scheme. 

Always sounded a bit odd to me but not to them.

Absolutely right. I grew up on one.

Nothing to do with Visas to other countries, I'm closing this topic.
