Official wording
Les ressortissants des Etats n'ayant pas conclu un accord avec le Gabon en matière d'immigration doivent, pour entrer sur le terrritoire national, être munis d'un visa et d'un titre de transport aller et retour ou circulaire, nominatif, non cessible à un tiers et non négociable.
Aevamo’s reading
Loi n° 5/86 of 18 June 1986 creates the entry obligation: article 23 requires nationals of states with no immigration agreement with Gabon to hold a visa, and articles 2-4 set the regime's scope and the temporary-visitor stay limit. The DGDI e-visa portal lists the bilateral exemptions and the CEMAC Acte Additionnel N° 01/13 creates the CEMAC exemption; both supply facts the statute cannot contain.
Article 23 imposes the entry-visa obligation on nationals of states that have no immigration agreement with Gabon; the held exemption lists (the DGDI bilateral table and the CEMAC acte) were searched for every issuer on this row and none is granted an ordinary-passport exemption, so the visa obligation applies to 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.
