Can my cousin visit me on a family visit visa when I am not a UK resident?

Accepted answer
I don't think the Family Visit Visa is an option for 2 reasons, based on the published eligibility requirements.
Reason 1: Ineligible family relationship
The list of people who can be visited under a Family visa is given as:
- spouse or civil partner
- children
- parents or siblings
- grandparents or grandchildren
- your spouse’s or civil partner’s siblings or parents
- your child’s spouse or civil partner
- step parents, step children or step siblings
- a person you've been living with in a long-term relationship, as if you were married or in a civil partnership, for at least 2 years before the day you apply
A cousin is none of those things.
Reason 2: Ineligible residency status
The family member being visited must be one of:
- a British citizen
- settled in the UK
- granted asylum in the UK
- under humanitarian protection in the UK
You're not a British citizen, and I don't think being in the UK on a short-term visa yourself counts as being "settled in the UK". The other 2 options are presumably not relevant either.

The Family Visitor visa is intended for visits of 6 months. If your cousin is studying in Germany I suspect she won't be coming for that long.
If it's just a simple visit then General Visitor visa appears to be the correct one.
