The qualifying process for the 1986 Thomas Cup took place from 17 to 23 February 1986 to decide the final teams which will play in the final tournament.

Qualification process

The qualification process will be divided into three regions, the Asian Zone, the European Zone and the Pan American Zone. Teams in their respective zone will first compete in a round-robin elimination format. The top two teams will advance to the knockout stages to compete for a place in the final tournament to be held in Jakarta. ^[1]

Since Indonesia had qualified for the final tournament as both hosts and defending champions, an extra quota was awarded for the third-placed team in the Asian Zone. ^[1]
