Is a business visa the same as an employment visa?

Both regular and e-Visa business visas permit multiple entries. This means you can leave and reenter the country multiple times on the same visa.
Where do I keep my business visa while traveling?
Keep a print copy of your business visa and your passport in a safe place. International travel document holders will help keep all your essential documents in one place.
