We know that Satan had/has access to Heaven as it is mentioned in the book of Job.

Job 2:1-2
On another day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them to present himself before him. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”

Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”

.....the book goes on from there.

Satan was allowed an audience with God, but didn't stay long.

Adam and Eve were on this earth---they were in the garden of Eden. Eden is the name of the earth, they were in the garden that God set up for them on this earth---not in heaven. Though Satan did have access to the heavenly court as shown in Job. But at the cross, He was thrown out permanently and forever from the presence of God and has access only to this planet now.
