Can Lao Lai leave the country if he owes money?

No, Lao Lai can't go abroad. Those who enter the blacklist of the court will be restricted from high consumption and leaving the country. If the person subjected to execution fails to perform the obligations specified in the legal documents, the people's court may take or notify the relevant units to assist in taking exit restriction measures, record them in the credit information system, and publish information on non-performance of obligations and other measures prescribed by law through the media.

The person subject to breach of trust refers to the person subject to execution who has the ability to perform but fails to perform the obligations specified in the effective legal documents, commonly known as Lao Lai. Although it is not explicitly stipulated in the "Regulations" that people who break their promises cannot leave the country, there are such provisions in the "Regulations" issued by the Supreme People's Court, which prohibit some high-consumption behaviors, including sleeping on planes and trains. The most important means of transportation is the plane, so whether traveling abroad, traveling on business or visiting relatives, it may be affected. If you owe money, you will be restricted from leaving the country. If the debtor still fails to perform after the judgment of the court, the court will include the debtor in the list of untrustworthy persons and notify the entry-exit authorities to restrict his exit.
