Aevamo’s reading
Section 4(1) of the Immigration Act 1982 creates the obligation: no person other than a citizen of Swaziland shall enter Swaziland unless in possession of a valid entry permit or pass. The Act is the instrument that imposes the requirement; the ministry's visa list and the regulations' Sixth Schedule describe who is exempt from the visa prerequisite, not the requirement itself.
The Ministry of Home Affairs' list marks each of these countries with 'Y' under 'Visa required (Y=yes N=no)', so their nationals must obtain a visa before travelling. Burkina Faso and Iceland are included on the strength of their own Y cells even though the High Commission's page enumerates them as exempt: the ministry's visa page makes its own requiring-countries table the determinant of who must apply, and the Kingdom's 2024-25 consular report records an Icelandic national being issued an entry visa at the London mission - see listConflicts.

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.
