Hi does anyone know what happens to those arriving on a visa dated after 16th March? I can’t find any info on exchanging uk license for a Spanish one. Everything is for those already living here. TIA

It’s exactly the same. On arrival you can drive on your UK licence for 6 months, within which time you must have made application to swap for Spanish Carnet de Conducir. (When you surrender UK licence to DGT, you will be given a temporary licence valid for 3 months)
You can only arrange licence swap when residency has been processed and you have your TIE.
