I recently landed a job offer with this big company. As part of the offer they promised to take care of all the paper work (visa fee, medical, flight ticket etc).
However after signing my offer letter and contract w(*hich stated a specific start date), I was asked to resign from my current job.
Everything seemed in order and so I handed in my resignation and also served my landlord with a 'vacate' notice.
Two weeks after me leaving my job (and a day before my start date at the new job and the date I was vacating my house), I received an email saying that I should handle all the aforementioned paper work by myself.
This was obviously unexpected and a problem as I don't have enough money available to do this (there are costs associated with the process) and the time needed to do this meant that I had to extend my rental accommodation for at least another month.
I somehow managed to take care of everything (at least for this month), and yet there has been no new start date promised.
Given the initial promise to take care of these matters for me are my new employer accountable for the extra expenses I have incurred?
If so how would I go about approaching them for reimbursement?

Clearly that depends on local laws. Where are you located? (BTW - the tags you chose make no sense).

You should consult a local attorney. Regardless, find a job with another company. The companies that use tactics like this to put applicants into questionable positions like this, where they must take the job or incur significant costs because they've already prepared to leave.... it's a bait-and-switch, and really it's a sign of more to come if you actually follow through with this company. I think you should consider finding a different job somewhere else. Note - If you didn't get the agreement that they'd cover these expenses in writing in advance, I'm not sure you'll be able to sue.

Perhaps you can get some initial advice on law.stackexchange.com but after that I would recommend a local attorney if they say on our sister site that you have a case

Clearly that depends on local laws. Where are you located? (BTW - the tags you chose make no sense).

You should consult a local attorney. Regardless, find a job with another company. The companies that use tactics like this to put applicants into questionable positions like this, where they must take the job or incur significant costs because they've already prepared to leave.... it's a bait-and-switch, and really it's a sign of more to come if you actually follow through with this company. I think you should consider finding a different job somewhere else. Note - If you didn't get the agreement that they'd cover these expenses in writing in advance, I'm not sure you'll be able to sue.
