I pre-ordered a 6S Plus and chose an ATT version (am an ATT customer). As I am paying the phone in full (no NEXT, no 2 yr contract), will the phone come unlocked so I can use it with other carriers when I travel overseas?

If not, will I be able to ask ATT to unlock it as soon as I receive the phone?

Since you selected the AT&T model, it will come pre-locked to AT&T.  If you wanted the carrier unlocked model, you should have selected that and it would have come unlocked, and you would not need to request AT&T to unlock it for you.

Thank you for the response. But, at this time, Apple doesn't have the completely unlocked "sim-free" version yet. Otherwise, I'd have chosen that. 

Now that it will come locked to ATT, presumably ATT will process an unlock request right away as the phone is paid in full and no contract?

Take a look at the AT&T unlock policy.  If you get the phone and use it on your account before you request (and get) the unlock, then they will not unlock it right away.  They have a required delay before they will unlock and phone which is actively in use on an account based on the type of account.  If you want it unlocked right away, you would need to get it unlocked before you ever turn it on and connect it to the AT&T network.
