Hi, I can perhaps answer half of your questions.
I applied online (jobstreet) for my current job in early July, got email invite for interview (f2f) the following week. Came for two F2F interviews, got the job offer by end July. My first working day was Sept 1. I'm in a mid level but niche position.
The only thing paid for me was the medical exam that was required for EP. But again, I was working in a neighboring country, thus it was easier access to Singapore. No hotel/flight was refunded.
So, if your potential employer did not inform upfront that hotel/flight would be refunded, you may want to be prepared to pay yourself. Alternatively, you could suggest a video-conferencing interview with them.
