Relation visiting Germany gets thinner (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gaunter

'thinner' is the definition.
('gaunt' can be similar in meaning to 'thin')

'relation visiting germany' is the wordplay.
'relation' becomes 'aunt' (I've seen this before**).
'visiting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'germany' becomes 'ger' (I've seen this in other clues).
'aunt' inserted inside 'ger' is 'GAUNTER'.

'gets' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
