However, there is a law that says that, if a person is in really big debts, he must be put under surveillance (schuldsanering which means 'cleaning of debts') and his income will be used to pay his debts and he will only get a small amount of money to live. This person is, of course, not permitted to do any big expenses, like traveling abroad, as his money should be used to pay his debts. So in that way, a person could be prevented from traveling abroad. Well, normally the Dutch government does not prohibit its citizens from traveling to other countries.

Technically - a mortgage is a debt, but as far as i know, this doesn`t prevent you from travelling abroad. (if it did, i`m in trouble :) ) However, in some cases, when the debt is extreme, or it`s a tax issue - they could rule that a person is not allowed to leave until an X amount has been paid. Or, in case of a large amount of fines (for traffic violations) it`s been known to be used - pay now, or no holiday... So, it`s all depending on what type of debt this supposedly is. That depends.
