Small but urgent visa question!

I have a 90-day multi entry visa the period of which is 15 Oct -15 Jan.

Is it true that the airline itinerary must match those dates? I MUST arrive on 15 Oct or is the period open for travel anytime within the visa period?

I read somewhere else on this site, i cant find it now, that visas and airplane schedules have to match but they MAY have been referring to other types of visa.

Im trying to book a flight right now and need this answer. Thank you!

A multiple entry visa means you may depart and return as many times as you wish during the validity of the visa.

They could, these days, care less, when or where you depart from or enter through - as long as it is a border gate for Foreigners.

Don't worry.

The airline itinerary does not need to match the visa validity dates.

You can arrive and depart at any time during the validity of the visa.

So need reason for worry.

Just don't arrive early to the country, or depart late from the country.

That's all there is to it.

Thanks so much, appreciated. Someone needs to refute the posts about visa timing. The words were "you'll be caught in administrative hassles when you land." It was in reference to someone arriving after the beginning of the validity and they were urged to match with flight itinerary. I thought it odd since Im holding a multi-entry visa. Ok anyway fair enough and thanks.
