Aevamo’s reading
Regulation 25 of the Passports Regulations 1969, made under the Passports Act, creates the obligation itself: any person not specified in the Eighth Schedule must obtain a visa prior to entering Mauritius, and the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Schedules set the visa-on-arrival and prior-visa categories. The PIO pages describe and administer that regime but do not create it.
Regulation 25(2)(a) authorises the Passport Officer to issue, on application at the port of arrival, an entry visa for 2 weeks to a holder of a passport issued by a country specified in the Ninth Schedule; the quoted passage pairs that rule with the Ninth Schedule list identifying those countries.

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.
