The standard one most people would apply for is the Engineering/Humanities work visa. This can be 3 months, 1 year, 3 years or 5 years. You can put down a request for how long it is when you apply, but it's generally 'random' from an outsider's point of view. This is not tied to the company, so you can find another job (that the visa allows for, i.e. same field) and move without much problem (you do still need to inform the authorities, but that's it).
Then there is the HSP (Foreign Highly Skilled Professional) visa. This is always a 5 year visa, but is tied to the company. If you switch companies, you need a new visa.
I've had both of these visas, and a few other non-work type ones as well. Feel free to message if you have questions.
As Amazon pointed out below, it isn't tied to your job, so if you leave before it's up, you don't lose the visa. However you do have a limited amount of time to find more work.
I think you can also get an investment visa which you need 50K USD to invest, but that's a bit more tricky.
One way many people do it, get a teaching job (super easy to get if you are a native speaker and have a pulse), work for a bit then quit and find something else. However, right now you're outta luck, borders closed for foreseeable.
