Also, I have another question in mind.

Is it generally provided by all employers? What other points should I definitely consider before accepting the employment offer with them?
Hi, Well, it does depend on the recruitment process followed by your organisation. I'm in Public Sector with transparency where a role has to be approved, costed and signed off before it's recruited for. So following references (bear in mind these can take a while with overseas/time zones etc.) it's usually verbal offer, the written conditional offer (conditional may be police check or practicing certificates, visa etc. dependent on role).
However, your organisation may be one who advertises roles anyway and then has to get further approval/sign-off before they hire, which itself could cause further delays.
As for relocation, well, it's a case by case basis, no hard or soft rules, IRD fairly relaxed about it.
Where I work has a maximum of flights (economy) for you and immediate family, 6 weeks temporary accomodation, shipping of goods (not car) up to a certain value.
Unsure you'd get VISA etc. or car hire as these have tax implications....
