BX Entering into a wall: Is a Fitting or Box Required at the Transistion?

Scenario:
A residential building interior with a junction box mounted on-the-wall (not embedded). BX exits the junction box, is clamped to the wall for a couple feet, then enters into a wall to continue on as a standard room circuit.


Question:
In this scenario does there need to be any sort of fitting or box at the transition point where the BX enters the wall? Or can it just pass through a hole drilled in the wall and travel inside the wall until it meets it's first box?

How about NYC?
