Its very easy to access the FortiGate from the wan address,
First login FortiGate from the intranet (local IP) then follow these steps:
Step 1: Allow HTTPS on Management Interface
GoTo Network > Interfaces, on Administrative Access section, allow HTTPS
Step 2: Permit Public IP Addresses
GoTo System > Administrators, enable Restrict login to trusted hosts and specify your Public IP addresses from where you will access. Do not forget to add your Internal hosts, otherwise you lose connectivity to firewall from Internal hosts.
Step 3: Change default https port to 444
On GUI, System > Settings > FortiCloud and change the default https port from 443 to 444.
You should now be able to access your Fortigate Firewall https://x.x.x.x:444 over WAN.

That's it.
Enjoy!...
