By the way work visas are also called WORK VISIT visa these days. So that makes all the types of visas 'visit' visas only, so which type of visit visas difference you are looking.

Main difference is that a visit visa holder cannot work whether paid or unpaid. Whiles a work visa holder can work and stay here as long as the sponsor wish. He need to renew your resident permit every year paying nominal fee.
