Aevamo’s reading
Decreto 286 (Ley Especial de Migración y de Extranjería) creates the obligation: Art. 38 requires every foreigner to carry a visa unless exempt, Art. 29 establishes the A/B/C visa categories, and Art. 84 defines the tourist stay limit. The RREE classification, the CA-4 manual and the DGME notice implement or supplement these articles rather than creating the obligation themselves.
Art. 25 lets Central Americans enter with their identity or travel document under the regional agreements; the CA-4 framework grants free movement to nationals of the four member states, so Guatemalan, Honduran and Nicaraguan citizens are not subject to the visa regime or a stay cap.

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.
