• Related止まるとまるNeutralThe everyday word for anything coming to a stop, person or thing; it says nothing about duration, while 「滞留」 stresses being held up in one place for a time.
• Related居座るいすわるNeutralTo stay put or cling to a seat or post when you should leave — disapproving, a nuance 「滞留」 lacks, which just states objectively that someone is stuck somewhere.
• Related滞在たいざいNeutralThe everyday word for staying somewhere away from home for a while, as in 「ホテルに滞在」; 「滞留」 usually implies being held up or stalled for some reason.
• Related在留ざいりゅうNeutralResiding in a place, usually abroad, for a period — as in 「在留資格」 or 「在留邦人」; bureaucratic in flavour, while 「滞留」 broadly means being stuck or staying put.
• Related残るのこるNeutralA broad word for remaining or being left — people staying on the spot or things surviving; unlike 「滞留」 it does not imply being held up by some cause.
• Related残存ざんぞんNeutralSurvival or continued existence of things — what remains without vanishing; it is not about a person staying in a place, which is what 「滞留」 covers.
• Related居残るいのこるNeutralStaying behind after others have left, or remaining at work past quitting time; the point is lingering on the spot rather than being stranded, as with 「滞留」.
• Related逗留とうりゅうWrittenA written, slightly old-fashioned word close to 「滞在」: lodging somewhere on a journey for a time, or halting where you are instead of moving on.
• Related居続けるいつづけるNeutralColloquial for staying on and on in one place without leaving; 「滞留」 leans toward written prose.
• Antonym流動りゅうどうNeutralAntonym: constant movement and change, the opposite of 「滞留」 with its sense of stalling in place or goods piling up.
• Antonym通過つうかNeutralAntonym: passing through a place without stopping, the opposite of 「滞留」, which is stopping and staying somewhere.

For an ordinary stay away from home, pick 「滞在」. 「滞留」 is for being held up somewhere, stalled, or goods piling up. Use 「在留」 for residing somewhere (often abroad) for a period, and 「居座る」 for staying put when you should go. Others cover stopping, remaining, or the antonyms 流動 and 通過.
