Do you mean converting an lp dryer to natural gas? "LP" is "liquified petroleum" gas (propane)
When you say you have no access to 220V...does that mean you have no range/oven? If you do, then you at least have 220V in your house/apartment, and if so, it's not a big deal to get 220V for a dryer.
But let's assume that you don't have 220v available, and you have either an lp dryer you want to convert to natural gas....or a natural gas dryer you want to convert to LP....The biggest difference is the orifice plate, which is just a plate with a hole of a certain size in it, to allow more or less gas to flow, depending on what kind of gas you use. (Propane has more energy, so the hole is smaller for propane than natural gas)
The manufacturer of the dryer will have both plates, and often, both plates are included with a new dryer. Your local LP gas supplier, or your natural gas supplier (depending on which way you want to go) can help with this conversion. It's not difficult...if you know what you are doing...but the suppliers of either type of gas are usually willing to help, because then...you will buy your gas from them.

I know you asked about converting to gas, but if you have 110v electricity in your home, it's possible to make a 220v plug for your dryer. Someone qualified can combine outlets at the main box. It's already done for things like stovers, central air/heat, etc.
The cost to have an electrician install one shouldn't be too costly.

LP is Propane, you mean city natural gas to LP or vice verse?

A kits only a few dollars, the orifice is all there is to it.

Would be cheaper to have a 220 plug wired in.
