E-Visa needed for Turkey if have a valid Residence Permit from Germany?
I will be traveling back from India to Germany in November. I am taking Turkish Airlines and will have a layover in Istanbul for 30 Hours.
I am an Indian Passport holder but have a valid Residence Permit Aufenthalstitel in Germany. The flight details say that I can either get free accommodation or a free city tour in Istanbul but I am curious that should I apply for the e-Visa for Single Entry as an Indian Passport holder but have a resident permit in Germany?

According to http://www.mfa.gov.tr/visa-information-for-foreigners.en.mfa, your German residence permit allows you to use a single-entry e-Visa:
India: Diplomatic passport holders are exempt from visa for their travels to Turkey up to 90 days. Ordinary, Special and Service passport holders are required to have visa to enter Turkey. Ordinary, Special and Service passport holders with a valid Schengen members or USA, UK, Ireland visa or residence permit may get their single entry e-Visas valid for one month via the website www.evisa.gov.tr, provided that they meet certain conditions.
