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.
Chief Executive Announcement 29/2004, published in the Boletim Oficial da RAEM of 18 August 2004, promulgates the Agreement between the Macao Special Administrative Region and the Republic of Mali on mutual abolition of visa requirements; Article 1(1) exempts holders of a valid Macao SAR passport or travel permit from Malian visa requirements for stays up to 90 days, a convention within Loi n°04-058 art. 3.

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.
