In the Forgotten Realms setting, can gods freely travel between dimensions or planes of existence? I don't think they can, or there would be chaos. But maybe a powerful god like Bahamut or an Overgod like AO could?

Best Answer
Forgotten Realms
From Faiths and Avatars. (ADnD source, but unfortunately there are very few in depth 5th edition info on gods)
Under the abilities list of Greater Powers
Although Lord Ao banished the gods to the material plane during the time of trouble, it appears it is the only plane barred to them now.
When it comes to the prime material plane, they are limited to avatars.
Finally, it must be noted that extreme circumstances can allow gods to travel to the prime material plane. Tiamat can successfully return to the material plane with use of her dragon cult, and does so if the heroes fail in the 5th edition adventure Rise of Tiamat.
Outside of Forgotten Realms
Though somewhat little info is available in 5th edition outside of the Forgotten Realms (as it is the official setting). The Theros campaign setting features and details gods greater than most. A few important things of note from here
So at least one god is able to force others to certain planes.
But just as importantly is
Since cleric spells include both plane shift and gate. They at the least have the capability of travelling, if not directly prevented from acting by the goddess of destiny.
