It is hard to say and there is no specific rule about that. You can try to apply for a visa and see if it is still affected.

I'm afraid yes, you do need to obtain a visa in advance.

The requirements for a X2 visa include the applicant's passport, application form, recent photo and most importantly, the admission notice of the China university or school.
