QUESTION  OF  THE  WEEK

Hello,

I was on an investment visa for a year when I started my own business and then took on a full time role with another company.  I was then transferred to an employment visa. 

I am now considering leaving this role and going back to actively work in my business. 

Can I apply for an investment visa for a second time or does it simply get transferred to my own company as an employment visa?
