Turkey e-Visa requirements

Upvote:2

A Swedish Resident Permit is neither a passport, nor a passport substitute. Your Indian passport is a passport. You can certainly apply for a Turkish eVisa.

(The Turkish government eVisa "Who is Eligible" FAQ webpage lists countries whose citizens can obtain eVisas, and India is not included. However, I just tried an application entering "India" as my country of citizenship and the eVisa application was approved. I didn't continue and pay for it; my application might have derailed had I proceeded further.)

The real problem, however, is this: the airline will not permit you to board a flight to return to Sweden if, at the time of flight departure, you are not holding a valid Swedish Resident Permit. Holding only an Indian passport with no valid Swedish Resident Permit, the airline will conclude you will not be able to enter Sweden. They will therefore refuse to carry you even if you have a flight reservation.

Under these circumstances, you should reschedule your trip, and not depart Sweden until you have a renewed and valid Swedish Resident Permit in your possession.
