Is the DTV visa linked to your specific passport and it’s number? I’m applying for DTV now but hope to get a new passport in a few months. 

If I can apply normally with my current one and get approved do I need to transfer it to a new passport or how does it work?

Answer summary

The DTV visa is linked to your current passport number. If you apply and receive the visa on your current passport but then get a new passport, you have two options: 1) Carry both the old and new passports together since the DTV visa is printed with the old passport number; 2) Visit immigration to have your old passport details transferred to your new passport, allowing you to use just the new passport with the visa printout.

You have 2 options. Carry both your old passport (with the passport number on the DTV printout) and your new passport for the remainder of the 5 years of your visa.

Or you can go to immigration after you get your new passport, and they will add the details of your old passport into your new passport, allowing you to use the new passport by itself with the printout of your DTV visa.
