Aevamo’s reading
Section 10(1) of the Immigration Act 2014 creates the obligation — a person who is not a citizen of Nauru shall not enter or remain without a valid visa — and section 10(2) authorises the Regulations to exempt persons; the Immigration Regulations 2014 implement that obligation and create the specific entitlements (visa on arrival, visa waiver, simplified application).
Regulation 12(2)(a) lets a national of a country covered by Regulation 16(4) apply for a visitor's visa on entry; Regulation 16(4)(b) and Schedule 3 name these issuers as fee-exempt visitor's-visa countries, and Regulation 16(4)(a) reaches Spain as a visa waiver agreement country listed unqualified in Schedule 5; Regulation 12(7) caps the visitor's visa at 3 months, so these travellers obtain a visitor's visa on arrival for up to 3 months.

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.
