Taiwan's representative office in Saudi Arabia, which oversees Qatar, has been trying to find out what was happening, said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Joanne Ou.
"At present we are still awaiting a response from the relevant body in Qatar," she added.
Saeed Al-Kuwari, director of the Hayya programme for Qatar's World Cup organisers, told reporters he "believed" the card system was likely to list "China" as the nationality of Taiwan passport holders.
"Or maybe we will supply something specially for them," he added later, without elaborating.
Holders of Taiwanese passports should upload a copy of the document to the system without selecting a nationality from the drop-down menu, he said.
Organisers have programmed the optical character recognition system to collect the right data that is needed, he added.
"So, whatever nationality it will say, it's fine. It's going to be approved and he will enter the country based on this information."
Taiwan has no diplomatic relations with Qatar, which, like most countries, only recognises China's government.
China, seeking to assert its sovereignty claims, has been stepping up pressure for countries and foreign companies to refer to Taiwan as part of China in official documents and on websites.
Taiwan has never played at the World Cup finals and crashed out in the second round of Asian nations qualifying for the 2022 tournament last year after losing all eight matches.
