US, similar to others, I had to ask permission and it was always granted.
I can recall once I ran to the bathroom for an emergency without permission. My teacher checked in with me later and discretely to make sure I was ok. Most of my teachers over the years were reasonable people who saw their students as human beings, so I wasn't worried about getting into trouble.
There was a student in my class one year who had to get an escort if he needed to go anywhere during class because he had a history of doing dangerous things. He tried running away, he wandered into a janitor closet and started randomly mixing chemicals together, he went into the teacher lounge and started eating their lunches, he went into the girls locker room and was found rifling through their gym bags. So yeah, from simple liability and the protection of other students, he wasn't allowed to leave the classroom whenever he asked.
