it is correct.
it's very understandable in hajj point of view, but might become quite unfortunate for umrah pilgrims.
what I highlight is the different wording on umrah and hajj - the presence of 'once in a lifetime' wording. some folks interpret it differently on umrah visa. I guess I'll just wait for KSA clarification (if any), or friends experience.
