The qualifying process for the 1992 Thomas Cup took place from 16 to 24 February 1992 to decide the final teams which would play in the final tournament.

Qualification process

[edit]

The qualification process was divided into two regions, the Asian Zone and the European Zone. Seeded teams received a bye into the second round while unseeded teams competed in the first round for a place in the second round. The first two rounds were played in a round-robin format. Teams in the second round competed for a place in the knockout stages. Semi-final winners in each zone were guaranteed qualification for the final tournament to be held in Kuala Lumpur while the remaining teams competed in a third place playoff match for a place in the final tournament.[1]

China qualified for the final tournament as defending champions while Malaysia qualified as hosts.[1]
