The qualifying process for the 1994 Thomas Cup took place from 20 to 27 February 1994 to decide the final teams which would play in the final tournament.

Qualification process

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 Jakarta while the remaining teams competed in a third place playoff match for a place in the final tournament.[1]

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