RE and minimal 1st pillar (AHV/OASI) contribution

[Barto]

@mars

How about becoming self employed and doing almost nothing? Would that work well as an interface for all offices (tax, immigration, …)?
AFAIK, the minimum AHV contribution is ~500CHF/year but would be grateful if someone confirms that.

No, this would not be a way to avoid AVS contributions. There is a check that you work at least 50% and 9 months per year. Otherwise you pay AVS based on ~0.2% of your wealth
