TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the implications of having a Non-O visa in an expiring passport and whether it can be transferred to a new passport. Community responses indicate that the visa typically remains valid until the passport expires, but it's advisable to get a new passport soon and then visit Immigration to transfer the visa to the new document.

Suggest you get a NEW passport now.

When you get the new passport go to Immigration and it will be transferred over. Well the last time that is how it worked unless something changed since 2018.

When you apply for an extension it will be granted for 12 months or until the expiry date of your passport. Whichever is the shorter.
