The French Embassy here in Accra has said persons wishing to apply for visa can now pay in both the old and new Ghana cedi.
The embassy refused to accept payments from visa applicants in the new Ghana cedi since its introduction on the 1st of July.
Visa applicants wishing to pay in the new currency were therefore turned away until they could produce the application fees in the old currency.
The embassy said it could not accept the new currency because its computers were yet to be configured to accept entries in the redenominated currency.
The Consul at the French Embassy, Anton Bialecki told Joy News the anomaly has since been rectified.
