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 Embassy of Iraq in Riyadh publishes the Prime Minister's directive that citizens of the six Gulf Cooperation Council states, each named in the passage, are granted ordinary entry visas at Iraq's land, sea and air border crossings without a pre-arrival visa, effective 1 April 2023; that is the visa-on-arrival entitlement for these six issuers.

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.
