Who runs The Hong Kong Plan

Lachlan MacDonald, Hong Kong visa and company setup, Sydney

Updated 13 November 2026

I'm Lachlan MacDonald. I run The Hong Kong Plan from Sydney, alongside The Paraguay Plan and China Plan, and I run The Global Plan with Allan Chan. We help professionals, founders and families build a proper base in Hong Kong: the right visa route, a real company and a bank-ready file.

What we help with

• Talent visa route review. TTPS and QMAS have different eligibility, evidence and timing. We check which one fits before you spend time preparing.
• Company formation. Incorporation, business registration, company secretary, registered office and the annual filings.
• Banking readiness. Source of funds, ownership documents and the questions banks ask before they open an account.

How I work

Fit comes before forms. We assess your situation, pick the route, prepare the documents, then handle submission and setup. If Hong Kong isn't the right base for you, I'll say so and point you to one that is, through The Paraguay Plan, China Plan or The Global Plan.

A note on tax

A Hong Kong company or visa does not end your Australian tax residency by itself. I'm not a registered tax agent and I don't give tax advice. I refer clients to a registered tax adviser before they move.
