URGENT: Entering Turkey with EAD/AP

[ZoroKS 0]

I have Indian Passport along with EAD and Advanced Parole (AP). Am I eligible to apply for Turkey e-visa with the EAD+AP. Will the immigration in Istanbul allow me to enter Turkey with eVisa and EAD+AP?

Are you asking if you can use the EAD/AP card instead of your Indian Passport to gain entry into Turkey? 
 

EAD/AP/GC are documents  that are for USA residency. They carry no authority for any country other than the US. Your country of  citizenship (passport ) is the one that dictates the entry requirements into another country

 Please note, Turkey eVisa portal states that, to get their eVisa I need to show a Supporting Document (Valid visa OR valid residence permit from one of the Schengen Countries, USA, UK or Ireland). In my case, I can use EAD+AP to live, work and reenter USA. So I'm wondering if EAD+AP is an accepted supporting document to enter Turkey. Hope it makes sense.

I wish Turkish authorities understand the capabilities of EAD+AP. I have contacted (email & call) all turkish embassies in the USA, nobody seems to understand EAD+AP. They understand US visa or GC only. So seeking public support.

public support won't help you.  this is between you and the turkish authorities.

EAD and AP is not the same as visa or green card.

Instead of telling them you have EAD/AP, ask them for a list of acceptable supporting documents for your evisa application.  

 

For example, here is the list of acceptable documents for Canada.

Türkiye evisa application is pretty clear about what is needed.  To me, an employment authorization (to work) and advance parole (to return to the USA) is very different than a "residence permit".  However, they might tell you differently when you ask them for a list of documents. 

"You must meet all the requirements listed below in order to obtain an e-Visa. Please confirm that you meet these criteria by clicking the boxes next to them. If you do not meet any of these requirements and you proceed with your application, your e-Visa will be invalid.

- My passport covers the period that I will be staying in Türkiye.

- I can prove that I hold a return ticket, hotel reservation and at least 50 $ per each day of my stay.

- I am travelling for the purposes of tourism or business.

- I have a valid Supporting Document (Valid visa OR valid residence permit from one of the Schengen Countries, USA, UK or Ireland). E-visas are not accepted as supporting documents."

You will probably not get a straight answer from the Turkish authorities.  However if you are in the US you should be able to receive a visa from the nearest Turkish consulate fairly easily.

Those actually give you no legal status in the US.  A visa or Green Card would.  Let us know what you find out.
