You are able to start the business and act as its Director or engage in supervisory responsibilities or other duties consistent with a business-visitor. You would need a separate work permit to be more involved.

just to clarify

are you saying that i can start a business and act as a supervisor with my current visa? without having to get any other type of visa?

Thanks
Jess
