Aevamo’s reading
Loi n°04-058 art. 8 is the provision that imposes the entry-visa obligation on every foreigner entering Mali; the 2005 decree implements it and the ECOWAS protocol and the ministry/embassy list carve out exemptions from it.
Loi n°04-058 art. 8 makes an entry visa a requirement for every foreigner entering Mali, and none of these issuers appears on any visa-exemption list held, so each must arrange a visa before travel.

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.
