I interviewed with a company last year and got an offer, but after some deliberation I declined it because the offered salary was just too low (36% of what I was making at the time - granted, as the company was in a different country, I went in expecting an offer lower than my salary - around 60% to equate the cost of living difference). I had tried negotiating that salary, but they didn't budge at all.
This is a company that I admire and would like to work at, but I just cannot take the risk of moving to a different country for a pay cut that leaves me at an entry level salary.
A year and some months later, someone from the company emailed me again asking if I'd be up for another interview process with them, whilst being apologetic that their offer last year didn't meet my expectations (just a culture difference - the email's in a different language). I assume they would budget a more enticing salary this time, but given how low the last offer was, I am hesitant to believe it would be within my target range.
In this case, should I be straightforward about my target salary? Are there any other questions I should ask? Anything I should be aware of? I would hate to waste my time and their time if I'm going to just end up declining an offer again.

There's no point in wasting your time and theirs. Just say to them:
last time I interviewed I was offered a salary that there was no possible way I could accept especially with the need to move into another country. I would like to know a general salary offer
Or you can say
I'm looking for at least 'x'
This will help you hit your target but will limit you to the amount that you
may be able to negotiate if they are willing to match this as they will keep returning to "You said that you wanted this amount."
As mentioned by Rath; A better way to approach this is
What's your salary range?
This way you can see what they're willing to offer and make your decision through that
Additional questions you may want to ask:
What the reason for them contacting you again was?
Why they want you to work for them?
In an interview you should have the majority of control as they approached you and they were going to offer you a job the first time around. Ask whatever you feel necessary, whatever is on your conscience then ask. As you're moving to another country you want to consider local conditions, costs etc...

I strongly advise against saying I'm looking for at least X. No reason to show your cards. Instead, ask them what their salary range is, and work with that. Whatever happens let them give you a number first, and make it the first thing you want to learn about them.

Just want to add one thing here first and that is the contract. They are in a different country, and they might know tricks that could end your career and everything else, by inserting shady things like we can give leave notification and in two weeks you should leave. This will impact all sort of things. Open your eyes and read that contract like your life depends on it.
In terms of money tell them this is what I make and this is what I want from you, and please don’t waste my time. If you are in a more mid range or junior level you can leave “don’t waste my time†part; as it does sound ignorant.
To sum up, money is not everything but you should negotiate as much as possible, and read the contract god damn well, and ask for correction before moving your career and life to another country.

Just want to add one thing here first and that is the contract. They are in a different country, and they might know tricks that could end your career and everything else, by inserting shady things like we can give leave notification and in two weeks you should leave. This will impact all sort of things. Open your eyes and read that contract like your life depends on it.
In terms of money tell them this is what I make and this is what I want from you, and please don’t waste my time. If you are in a more mid range or junior level you can leave “don’t waste my time†part; as it does sound ignorant.
To sum up, money is not everything but you should negotiate as much as possible, and read the contract god damn well, and ask for correction before moving your career and life to another country.
