Aevamo’s reading
The Immigration Act (Cap. 62), s.6 creates the obligation: no person other than a citizen of the Kingdom shall enter Tonga unless holding a valid permit or exempted under s.7. s.10 limits a visitor's permit to 6 months and s.38 empowers Cabinet to exempt classes of persons. The revenue/embassy lists describe how that permit requirement is administered, but the Act is the instrument that creates it.
The page heads the list with the grant 'may be issued a 30 day visitor visa on arrival into Tonga' and enumerates the countries, each of which therefore enters on arrival without an advance visa for 30 days.

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.
