Could illegal activities conducted in my property impact my golden visa?
Three years ago, I bought a residential property in the suburb area of Athens and obtained my golden visa. Then I appointed a local realtor to rent it out while I stay in my home country running my business. Recently I was noticed that the current tenant of my house was arrested for illegal activities conducted in my house. I am worried that my golden visa status might be impacted because of this.

Normally a landlord is not responsible and involved in the activities of his tenant unless if it could prove that he was aware and tolerated illegitimate events to take place in his property. Having said that, the criminal record of your tenant should not be of your concern. As long as you are not involved in his criminal activities, you do not need to worry about consequences regarding your Golden Visa.
