Aevamo’s reading
Article 3 of the ordonnance-loi imposes the obligation at issue: 'Tout étranger doit, pour entrer au Zaïre, être muni des documents et visas'. It creates the visa requirement that every other document here derogates from or operationalises; the 87-281 ordinance and the exemption arrangements operate under it.
Article 3 of the ordonnance-loi imposes the obligation at issue: every foreigner must, to enter, hold the documents and visas prescribed by the head of state. These issuers are foreigners not shown to be exempt, so the visa requirement applies to them.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
