Official wording
For a foreigner to enter and leave the territory of the Republic of Iraq, the following shall be required: … Second: He/ she shall hold a valid entry visa marked in his/ her passport when entering
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.
Article 3 of the Foreigner Residence Law No. 76 of 2017 makes a valid entry visa a condition of entry for every foreigner entering the Republic of Iraq; the issuers in this row are not named in any exemption or visa-on-arrival grant in the instruments held, so the general requirement governs them.

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.
