My question is similar to

Applying for a Student Visa in Germany from Netherlands as a Non-EU citizen?

I am a student in UK enrolled in a Masters program. I recently finished my Masters (September, 2018) and got an offer as a PhD student from a Swedish university. My UK Tier 4 student visa is valid up to Jan 2019. I am a citizen of India.

My question is, if it is possible for me to apply for my doctoral student visa from the Swedish embassy in London (UK) or do I need to return to India to make my application. Thanks.

    The Swedish mission to the UK is the best source for this information. Have you tried asking them?

As there was no answer posted to this question, I am posting my own experience.

It is absolutely possible to apply for a residence permit in Sweden from London or any other location. The Swedish migration agency (migrationsverket) does not impose any restriction on the place of application as long as you are a valid visa holder (or a residence permit holder) of that location. I have recently filed my application and received a result for the same as well.

Please bear mind this is specific to Sweden. Other countries might impose other restrictions.
