Nested virtualization only works with VirtualBox-on-VirtualBox for the moment. Anything else is unsupported.

VirtualBox-on-VirtualBox = Host runs VirtualBox which runs Guest1. Guest1 runs VirtualBox which runs Guest2. That's what VirtualBox-on-VirtualBox is.

For example the following are not supported yet:
  • VirtualBox on Hyper-V
  • VirtualBox on KVM
  • VirtualBox on VMWare
  • VirtualBox on other
  • Hyper-V on VirtualBox
  • KVM on VirtualBox
  • VMWare on VirtualBox
  • Other on VirtualBox
