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

I am in UK on a Business Visit Visa for 6 months. I want to invite my cousin who studies in Germany to the UK.

Should I ask her to apply for a "Family Visit Visa" or a "General Visit Visa" ?

I do not have UK Citizenship.

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.
