During the interview session, the hiring manager has told me that she will buyout me in order to join the company ASAP. However, the HR Department has then advised me that it would be appreciated if I can pay the buyout amount myself first and provide them with the invoice (and proof of payment) and they will reimburse me.

I really wish to know if this is common as I haven't experienced such a scenario before.

I make it a personal policy to never pay for anything 'on my own'. I would indicate that this is not something you are comfortable with and that if they want to buy out the contract they need to just do it themselves, or wait for the contract to end and then convert you.

Something of both this caliber and outside the general rules, seems like a big red flag. Next they will have you 'invoice' this as work performed, misc, or some other oddity that is really them trying to get this under the radar of their normal governance.
