I would like to be baptized in an orthodox parish that is closer to my friends and family who cannot travel otherwise to come to my baptism. Do I need to get my priest's permission?

Read John 3:1-5 and Acts 2:38

If your are already signed in to that parish - I suppose yes. On the other hand it would be a nice idea ti invite your priest to your baptism.

You would need to talk to your priest- and get his permission.

You should talk to your local priest. He will probably need to help you arrange a baptism elsewhere. Several reasons: if the parishes are under different bishops; if he has helped you in your catechesis; the other priest does not particularly know you or your understanding of the church.

Always start with the priest.

Blessings, and welcome home!
