TLDR : Answer Summary

When your passport is about to expire, you do not need to resubmit documents to transfer your visa to a new passport. Instead, you should carry both your old and new passports, as the visa is linked to your unique passport ID, which remains valid even if you change passports.

The passport ID is unique for lifetime. You can change your passport as many times as you want. The immigration will see with your passport ID the existing visa.
