Aevamo’s reading

Loi n°1/25 du 5 novembre 2021 (Bulletin Officiel n°11/2021) is the statute that creates the entry obligation: Article 5 requires a visa or an authorization in lieu of visa to enter, Article 6 delegates the visa's conditions to a ministerial ordinance, and Article 7 creates the exemptions (crew, permanent residents, EAC citizens, agreement countries). The CGM and MFA pages describe and apply this law; they do not create the obligation.

The CGM's 'Visa d'entrée EAC' category covers citizens of EAC member states with a free entry visa of one to six months; the law (Article 7(3°), the controlling instrument) exempts EAC citizens from the entry visa, so each issuer in this row enters without advance authorisation and may stay up to six months.

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.
