The residency visa expired while looking for a job. What to do?

Q: Hi, I am in the grace period of 30 days after the resident visa expiry. My visa was valid till 30/08/2022 (Ajman residency visa). From 3rd October 2022 onwards, the government of the UAE is implementing 3 month grace period policy for residence visa expiry. My question is: Will I fall under this category after paying penalty for the few days from 29th Sept - 3rd October (Because my grace period will be over)? Or shall I pursue a visit visa as I am looking for a new employer?
