Aevamo’s reading
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ “Visa on Arrival” page imposes the requirement that non-exempt foreign nationals intending to obtain a visa at Iranian international airports submit an electronic visa application and present the approved Grant Notice at the airport counter; it is the operative statement of how the entry-visa obligation for ordinary tourism is discharged.
The passage is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' own statement of the airport-visa procedure for foreign nationals who are not on an exemption list and not among the nine excluded countries: the electronic application is made before travel and the Grant Notice exists only once the application has been approved, so entry is on an advance authorisation (the approved eVisa application), with the visa physically issued at an Iranian international airport.

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.
