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.
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.
