Aevamo’s reading
The Aliens Act s.5 requires an alien to obtain the leave of an immigration officer to land and s.6(h) makes possession of a visa a condition of that leave unless an exemption under s.17 applies, creating the obligation the PICA list administers; the parallel Immigration Restriction (Commonwealth Citizens) Act s.8(1) and s.35(2) govern Commonwealth citizens, and the PICA list states each nationality's treatment under both branches.
The PICA list marks each of these countries 'Visa required', so a visa must be obtained before travel; the countries and classes not printed on the list have no exemption on it, so the Aliens Act's visa condition applies to them.

How the documents behind this regime are dated
PICA page footer states 'Last updated July 19, 2023'; the live page also carries entries effective 2024 and 2025 (Ireland 5 March 2024; Dominican Republic 1 February 2025), so the list is maintained beyond the footer date.

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.
