For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

This route is an electronic visa: it lets the traveller enter Iraq without visiting an embassy or consulate, and it is sent by email to be printed and shown at border control. The official e-Visa site offers a search of visa requirements by country and passport type, but the checked official page does not itself state which nationalities need a visa, can use the e-Visa or are exempt.
