Officials said this would allow applicants travel or apply for another visa simultaneously and reduce the time to get two visas.
Further, Indian high value companies would benefit from mobile visa clinic, which would be introduced next year to allow people associated with them to apply for visas without visiting visa application centers.
The UK is also launching the Great Club, an invitation only service to provide top business executives with support from UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). The club will start next year as a 12-month pilot for business leaders with strong links to the UK.
The members of the club would be subjected to same visa checks as any other applicant. But they would be provided services from when they first apply for their visas to their arrival in the UK.
They will be provided an account manager to ensure their visa and immigration services are swift. The manager would arrange visa services tailored to individual needs with no extra cost during the pilot.
British home secretary Theresa May said she created UKVI in March to focus on delivering "excellent customer service". "These changes will allow us to maintain a world class, competitive visa system that can innovate in order to serve the ever-changing needs of business and ensure Britain succeeds in the global race."
She said Britain would continue to respond to the needs of high-value and high-priority businesses to provide them with services that support economic growth while maintaining security of borders.
These new additions follow the successful introduction of same day visa service in India.
