Does a seafarer travelling to Dubrovnik from Mumbai via Munich need a Transit visa?
I am a seafarer and my visa will be stamped after reaching Croatia. I have my flight scheduled from Mumbai to Dubrovnik via Munich (in a Schengen country).

It looks like you need an airport transit visa. There are several documents that would exempt you from that requirement, but if I understand your question correctly, you don't hold any of those documents.

@phoog seamen are often exempted when traveling directly to their point of embarkation.

@JoErNanO we can, but that just makes the canonical question longer, more confusing, and harder to digest for the 99.9% of people who don't need to think about commercial shipping. There are enough different cases and exceptions and exemptions as it is. We ought to draw the line somewhere, and this seems to me to be a good place to draw it.

@JoErNanO I don't have the energy right now to read the canonical and form an opinion; I also don't know the answer to this question. They are exempt from having to get a visa before traveling to the border, but there seems to be no special exemption from the ATV, which is a bit weird. Leaving this question separate probably gives the best chance of someone who knows the answer seeing it (not that the chance is all that good, I suppose).

According to the Schengen Visa Code:
Nationals of the third countries listed in Annex IV shall be
required to hold an airport transit visa when passing through
the international transit areas of airports situated on the
territory of the Member States.
According to the German Embassy in India, Indian citizens also need to obtain an airport transit visa:
All Indian citizens in air transit through Germany need to apply for a transit visa at the Consulate
General
There are several exemptions listed in the Visa Code, but none of them apply specifically to seafarers:
(a) holders of a valid uniform visa, national long-stay visa or
residence permit issued by a Member State;
(b) third-country nationals holding the valid residence permits
listed in Annex V issued by Andorra, Canada, Japan, San
Marino or the United States of America guaranteeing the
holder’s unconditional readmission;
(c) third-country nationals holding a valid visa for a Member
State or for a State party to the Agreement on the European
Economic Area of 2 May 1992, Canada, Japan or the United
States of America, or when they return from those countries
after having used the visa;
(d) family members of citizens of the Union as referred to in
Article 1(2)(a);
(e) holders of diplomatic passports;
(f) flight crew members who are nationals of a contracting
Party to the Chicago Convention on International Civil
Aviation.
Unless you fall under one of the exemptions listed above, you will need to apply for a transit visa.
