Official wording
The Ministry of Interior / Baghdad International Airport Immigration and Passports Section has informed us that the practice of granting direct entry visas (on arrival) for citizens of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (5+1), the European Union, and the countries (Australia, Canada, South Korea, Japan, Switzerland, New Zealand) has been suspended. Instead, the issuance of electronic entry visas will be implemented through the following link: https://eservice.evisa.iq. Therefore, all travelers to Iraq holding the above-mentioned passports are required to obtain an electronic entry visa to Iraq before their travel.
Aevamo’s reading
Law No. 76 of 2017 is the primary statute that creates the obligation: article 3 makes a valid entry visa a condition of entering Iraq for every foreigner, and articles 5-7 vest the issue of entry visas in the General Residence Directorate. The e-visa requirement and the visa-on-arrival arrangements are subordinate decisions made under this law.
The Consulate General of Iraq relays the Ministry of Interior's decision that visa-on-arrival is suspended for citizens of the permanent members of the UN Security Council (5+1), the European Union and the six named countries, and that those same passport holders must obtain an electronic entry visa before travelling to Iraq.

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.
