Does a 5-year DTV visa expire with an expiring passport, or can it be transferred to a new passport?

The discussion addresses whether a 5-year DTV visa linked to a passport that expires in 3 years will expire with the passport. It is suggested that it is possible to transfer the visa to a new passport after obtaining it, though there may be a fee involved. Community members confirm that transferring the visa at an immigration office is a common practice. Therefore, it might be advantageous to obtain a new passport prior to applying for the visa.
