Aevamo’s reading
Loi n°1/25 du 5 novembre 2021 (Bulletin Officiel n°11/2021) is the statute that creates the entry obligation: Article 5 requires a visa or an authorization in lieu of visa to enter, Article 6 delegates the visa's conditions to a ministerial ordinance, and Article 7 creates the exemptions (crew, permanent residents, EAC citizens, agreement countries). The CGM and MFA pages describe and apply this law; they do not create the obligation.
The CGM — the migration police that issues entry visas — states that the single-entry visa lets a foreign citizen enter and stay one month and is obtained at Melchior Ndadaye International Airport as well as online and at embassies; the law (Art. 5) makes the visa mandatory for every foreigner not exempt under Art. 7, so each issuer in this row needs a visa but may obtain it on arrival rather than arranging it in advance.

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.
