Which travellers require a transit visa/permission and which officially documented exemptions are important?

The transit visa allows a foreigner travelling to a third State to cross Moroccan territory. Aircraft crew or sailing personnel of commercial airlines who must stay briefly are granted a transit visa if they are subject to that formality. The official sources do not publish a transit-specific list of who needs the visa or of exemptions.

If permission is required, what permission is it, where/how is it obtained, and what core onward-travel evidence is required?

The permission is a transit visa, issued for one or two transits. In some exceptional cases the Security Services may issue transit visas at border posts; where Morocco has no representation, requests go to the accredited diplomatic mission or Honorary Consuls, or else to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (visa@maec.gov.ma) for a visa issued at the airport. The official source does not state the onward-travel evidence required.
