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

Where required, the permission is the Schengen airport transit visa, one of three forms of Schengen visa, which allows the traveller to connect through the international transit area of a Schengen airport during a stopover or change of flights. The official source does not state where or how it is applied for, or what onward-travel evidence is required.
