Although Lions Clubs International has no control over the policies established by immigration authorities, letters of invitation to the convention can be issued once membership is verified. All requests for letters of invitation to the convention must be submitted in writing to the Convention Division and must include the full name, address and Lions club of the registrant. Lions Clubs International regrets that it cannot correspond with the U.S. embassies or consulates on behalf of individual Lion members. Letters of invitation to the convention are prepared by the Lions' office in Mumbai. Special Needs Individuals in wheelchairs or with leader dogs will find the U.S. very accommodating.
Many hotels have a limited number of handicapped accessible and non-smoking rooms.
