    About RCD

    Editorial summary

    RCD (Rousaud Costas Duran) is a Barcelona-headquartered Spanish law firm with offices in Madrid, Valencia and Seville and a dedicated immigration practice led by Immigration Director Oriol Martínez Malagelada. Spain closed its Golden Visa to new applications from 3 April 2025, so RCD's investor-visa work now covers renewals and family transitions.

    Rousaud Costas Duran, S.L.P., trading as RCD, has its registered office at Escoles Pies 102, 08017 Barcelona. It has Spanish offices in Barcelona, Madrid (La Palma 10), Valencia (Colón 31) and Sevilla (Torre Sevilla); email info@rcd.legal. The firm has a broad practice that includes Immigration Law (Derecho de Extranjería e Inmigración). Under Organic Law 1/2025, Spain stopped accepting new investor-visa (Golden Visa) applications from 3 April 2025; RCD advises on renewals of existing authorisations where available. Its other immigration work covers Start-up Law authorisations, digital nomad visas, nationality and non-lucrative residence. RCD was founded in 2003 and is integrated with the DWF international network.
