Aevamo’s reading
The consolidated Revised Edition contains the Immigration Ordinance 2011 (as amended), whose s.16A imposes the obligation — no person holding a passport from a country specified by the Governor by order may travel to St Helena without a visa obtained before embarking — and the Immigration (Visa Requirement) Order 2016 (L.N. 15/2016), made under that section, which specifies the countries. This is the instrument that creates the obligation; the eVisa portal pages describe how it is administered.
Article 2 of the Immigration (Visa Requirement) Order 2016, made under s.16A of the Immigration Ordinance 2011, requires the listed persons to obtain a travel visa prior to embarking for St Helena; every issuer in this row appears in that list, so they must arrange a visa (now an e-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.
