Aevamo’s reading
Décret n°64-169 du 15 décembre 1964 (J.O. 20 janvier 1965), as amended by décrets n°2012-031 and n°2024-042, is the instrument that CREATES the obligation: its Article 3 requires foreign nationals who are not nationals of a convention state to hold a Mauritanian consular visa, and its Article 2(d) caps the stay of tourists at three months. The ANRPTS portal administers that obligation as an online e-visa; it describes, it does not create.
The ANRPTS official portal data enumerates the 11 states with which Mauritania has signed mutual visa-exemption agreements; each of the issuers on this row is one of those states, so they enter Mauritania without arranging a visa 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.
